The Sovereign Weight: Why You Must Stop Walking on Grass Bridges

Image
  Let’s stop lying to ourselves. A lot of us are exhausted, not because we lack power, but because we keep trying to build a legacy on cheap, flimsy shortcuts. We’ve been conditioned to look for the easiest route across the chasm, forgetting who and what we actually are. Our Ancestors in the Congo left us a blueprint wrapped in a warning: “Even if skinny, an elephant dares not cross over a grass bridge.” Think about the raw physics of that for a second. You could starve an elephant. You could deprive it of water through a brutal dry season until its ribs show and its energy is depleted. But even a malnourished elephant still possesses the cosmic mass of a giant. Its essential nature cannot be minimized by a bad season. Because of that inherent weight, it cannot trust a bridge made of straw. If it tries to take that shortcut, the structure collapses, and the fall is fatal.

Peace FAM: I have been on the grind for years now with, blogging, podcasting, vlogging and now brewing I am finally making inroads on a platform, but I feel I need to explain why I do what I do. I believe that I need to express the Nia that is flowing through me at this time. My purpose is to enlighten, uplift, encourage, and I must be honest to talk. Those that know me, know that this the truth. I believe and have believed for a long time that I was born to talk. I have supported my family with my mouth, I have provided jobs with my mouth, I have raised money with my mouth, and I can continue but I won't. I am driven to do this, and to the dismay of many in my life I continue. I will get up early in the morning to make sure that I am able to reach those that are taking the time out to listen. Hell I will do a show if no one is there, and I fell I need to explain this desire. Because the fact is that I am not alone, many if not all of my readers, listeners, viewers, and drinkers h...
